Fishing Fly Boy Scout Angler Proficiency Award Badge Brown tone and back Troop ($1 Opening Bid & NO hidden reserve) (PS147A) DESCRIPTION: Angler, unusual brown material rather than the traditional khaki coloured material, relatively hard to find proficiency badge in any style variation never mind the ribbon, bound brown back version produced in the 1930’s (introduced into the Scout progr...am circa 1930), I have noted that a variety of different images have been used for the ANGLER badge including this fly image -the loose threads shown in the front of the badge image have now been removed -the extremely challenging skills or test requirements that varied over the years which may partially explain the relative rarity of this badge, Style Variation: brown back, ribbon, bound (brown back style variation is thought to have been introduced 1935 and used throughout the late 1930’s and into the 1940’s) Size: 1 1/2 inches or 35 mm in diameter, we have noticed that these badges may have come in more than one size, this badge is the smaller such version at 35 mm CONDITION: Used (the colour and images on this badge remain very strong and vibrant, see images for greater detail) OPENING BID*: $1 VALUE*: $50+ Estimated SHIPPING**: $3 Do you have a passion for Boy Scout collectibles?
